lo neotionwith liquids under high pressure, and

has for its object to improve the construction and increase the el'liciency of devices of this character.

with this and other objects in View, which will appear as the nature of ,the invention is better understood, the invention consists in certain nojvel features. of construction, as hereafter fully described and claimed. g In the accompanying drawings, forming a 2o vpart of this specification, and in which corresponding parts are denoted by like designating characters, is illustrated the preferred form of the embodiment of the mvention capable of carrying the same into practical operation. v

. In the drawings, Figure `1 is a longitudinal section of the improved device applied. Fig. 2 is a transverse section on the line 2 2 of Fi 1.

gThe valve-casing 10 is rovided at one end with a reduced threade portion 11, which may be screwed into. a threaded openingin a liquid-containing receptacle 12, and this end of the casing, as well as the outer end 15, is 3 5 bored out for the reception of a longitudinally-movable valve-stem 16, which passes through a stuiiing-box 27 at the outer end of the casing in order to prevent leakage. The

inner end of the valve-casing is faced to form a seat -for a valve 17, the latter being carried by the stem 16 and having av peripheral flange 18, that is undercut for the reception of a ring 19 of rubber, leather, or similar material.

The valve-stem 16 is hollow-for a portion of its length, forming a chamber 20, and through the walls of the hollow portion of the valve extends two sets of ports 21 and 22, the ports 21 being arranged adjacent to the valve and being laced in communication with the end of) the -liquid-receptacle when the valve is moved away from its seat, the liquid passing from the receptacle through the ports 21 to the interior ofthe 5; stem and thence out through the ports 22 to an enlarged chamber 13, that is formed in the cam-groove two sets of portswhich permit. the

thevalve-casing, the Huid nally escaping through a discharge-port`23. l

Mounted on the outer end,of the valvecasing is a hollow cap 29, through which extends the reduced portion ofthe valve-stem l16, and at a point outside the cap the rduced end of the stem is threaded and receives a nut 32, by which the cap is held in place. 'lhe cap can rotate freely on the valve-stem, while the latter is arranged to move'only in a direction of its' length, being held from revoluble movement by a pin 24, having a threaded portion 25 and a wrenchhead 26, said pin being screwed through an opening formed in the valve-casing and entering one of the ports 22 of the stem. The cap 29- is provided with an operating-handle 31 and is provided with one or more projections `30, which enter a cam-groove 28, formed in the periphery of the casing.

When the cap 29 is turned in oneA direction, l

the projection or projections 30 will traverse 28 and the valve-stem will be moved inward, forcing the valve away from its seat and placing the ports 21in communication with the interior of the receptacle, so that the liquidwill iiow therefrom outward to the enlarged chamber 13 and thence pass through the discharge-port 23.

' .It will be noted thatthe pin 24 is provided with `a-groove 33. This forms a vent to permit the entrance of air and allow drainage of all of the liquid from the interior of the valve.

I claimx 1. In a faucet, acasing having an internal chamber provided with a discharge-port and having a valve-seat at one end, a valve adapted to c lose against said seat, a tubular stem carrying the valve and extending through said chamber, spaced ports adjacent the valve, and spaced ports kcommunicating with the chamber, a stop-pin extending through the casing and enterlng one of said ports to prevent rotative movement of the stem, and means for moving saidstem in the direction of its length.

2. In a faucet, a chambered casing, one end of which is faced to form a valve-seat, a stem extending'` throughsaid casing, -a valve carried by the stem, the'stem being hollow fora portion of its length and provided with flow of Jiquid through the stem when the valve is open, means for preventing rotary movement said stem, and means for moving the stem in the direction of its length.

said' stem having IIO 3. ln ai faucet, a. casing having an enlarged chamber :1nd bored at both ends, one 0nd of the easing beingf faced to form avalve-sea, :L stein extendingr through the casing, said size-1n being hollow for a yportion of its length and being provided with two sets' of ports, a valve valve-stem, alnd an operating-handle varried the outer end of the valve-stem passes, a cap by .the stem.

In testimony that I claim the foregoing as 15 my own I have hereto afxed my signature in the presence of two Witnesses. carried by sald stem and arranged to close against the seat, a stuffing-box through which i JOHN WM. HORTH.
